Quantitative seismology : theory and methods
Keiiti Aki,Paul Richards +1 more
TL;DR: This work has here attempted to give a unified treatment of those methods of seismology that are currently used in interpreting actual data and develops the theory of seismic-wave propagation in realistic Earth models.

Origin of coda waves: Source, attenuation, and scattering effects
Keiiti Aki,Bernard Chouet +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the scaling law of earthquake source spectra between central California and western Japan was investigated and two extreme models of the wave medium that account for the observations on the coda were proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scaling law of seismic spectrum
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the dependence of the amplitude spectrum of seismic waves on source size by fitting an exponentially decaying function to the autocorrelation function of the dislocation velocity and found that the most convenient parameter for their purpose is the magnitude Ms, defined for surface waves with period of 20 sec.
